"McConnell didn't specify what form the enforcement mechanisms would take but said the deal will include the formation of a bipartisan joint committee of Congress empowered to make recommendations to reduce the debt.

Those recommendations would include entitlement reform and would be subject to an up or down vote in Congress before Thanksgiving. McConnell expressed confidence the joint committee would be able to craft a solution in the face of enormous pressure from the American public, the financial markets and foreign nations eyeing how the U.S. handles its debt crisis.

"We haven't had anything like this before," McConnell said.

"This is a joint committee of Congress. It is not a commission that consists of outsiders. A joint committee of Congress with an equal number of Republicans and Democrats under enormous pressure from the American people, from the markets, foreign countries looking at us to see if we're going to get our house in order to come up with significant additional savings over and above the initial ones that we will approve before the end of this year."

Sounds just like the 'Super Congress' (was also thought it would be called a Super Committee) from a Huffpo piece that was talked about here a week ago.

"Legislation approved by the Super Congress -- which some on Capitol Hill are calling the 'super committee'"

This clip is also from the Huffpo piece that was posted here:

"This "Super Congress," composed of members of both chambers and both parties, isn't mentioned anywhere in the Constitution, but would be granted extraordinary new powers. Under a plan put forth by Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) and his counterpart Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.), legislation to lift the debt ceiling would be accompanied by the creation of a 12-member panel made up of 12 lawmakers -- six from each chamber and six from each party.

Legislation approved by the Super Congress -- which some on Capitol Hill are calling the "super committee" -- would then be fast-tracked through both chambers, where it couldn't be amended by simple, regular lawmakers, who'd have the ability only to cast an up or down vote."
